time to write as heTanges, and 1t may be
said still less time to read. The news
papers here to Americans are not of
much account, as they contain very
little about or from the United states
some times, indeed generally, not
line. To a newspaper man the differ
ence is notable In every respect. The
Hamilton Advertiser Is the only paper
published In the town. and is q weekly
with q circulation of $4,000, printed on
HOepreSs. The proprietor, Mr.. Naismltb,
has had the paper for long years and
though Liberal In politics, treats In
his paper all parties fairly, and as he
told me has thereby kept out sll OppOsi-
tiOn. Hamilton is town of about
10000 aud all around two, three and
more miles away are other towns In
which the Advertiser eirculates and In
which are no pagers published. or
course the Advertiser has local report
ers In all the towns round about and

HAWAII'S REVOLUTION.

The People Dissatished-A Reign of Ter
ror Prevailing.
CHICAGO, September 5.-A Times San
Francisco special says: Private adUces re-
ceived by the steamer from New Zealand
aud Honolulu, state that there is much
dissatisfaction among the better class of
foreigners at Honolulu on account OF the
military dictatorship which has grown up
since the semi.revolution Of June 80. This
has extended to q complete control of the
press, newspapers being even forbidden to
publish ordinary court proceedings, such
as the trial of Hayselden, ex-Premier Glib
sons son-in-law. So great was this terror
ism that not a single journal in Honolulu
dared to reprint the comments of the
American newspapers on the revolt III
Haw iii, although everyone was eager to
get copies and see for themselves what was
said. Business continues dull, owing TO n
sense of insecurity and unrest. lt is tacit-

Information is received that on n out

schooner May Anderson was lately made
BY the natives, under exceptionally brutal
circumstances. The boatmen were first
severely wounded to render them helpless,
tied hand and foot, then taken in canoes
to another Island and traded for pigs. The
purchasers then finished them and had q
cannibal feast on bodies.

A Tenement House Fire.

NEW YORK, September 5.-The cry OF
fire was raised about l O'Clock this morn
ing on Fiftieth street. 1t was nc sooner
heard than a scene of the widest excite
ment ensued. The block where the fire
started is filled with tenements on both
sides of the street. The fire was in a five
story double decker, No. 522, which, with
the four buildings adjoining it, are owned
by Potter Bros. The buildings are OF
brick and have about rs feet depth. Four
families live on each floor. In the base
ment are wood houses and coal bins. The
fire apparently started in n of the wood
houses, shot up through the air shaft,
burned its way toward the stairway and
spread its force in the upper stories. Luck
lily several apartments in the house had
not been occupied recently and there were
only eleven families there. They were
panic stricken. They had to find their
way through smoke,

and wsmen with their arms full OF cloth
ing, household effects, etc.
A panic equally as great occurred In the
houses Nos. SIS and $40 when there was
no danger. To add to the horror the gas
was turned off and in the excitement no
light could be had. The people were
frantic in their effort to escape, and fell
over each other and trampled one another,
and in the dark there was a struggling
mass of humanity. The scene enacted beg
CARS description.
James Harmon jumped from the roof OF
51s to the roof of 516 and had his left leg
broken. Aman named Dowd fell in the
street and cnt his head. A little girl was
left on the balcony of the top story Of No.
| 51S, hut was rescued by a fireman. Fire
man Mcnamara and some more iremep
were in the third story when a huge tank
crashed through the roof. They had a
narrow escape from being killed. 1t fell
within a few feet of them and two mer
were struck by

Fireman Nm. Noble was at work in the
yard, when q huge pile OF brlcSs Tell dowr
from the root, almost burying him. He
was badly bruised about the body. Th'
fire burned through the two upper stories,
badly cutting them.
1t was nearly 5 o'clock before the fire
was got under control. 1t was rumoret
that several people had been burned, but
after the flames were e~ktirguished thu
fremen made a careful search of thu
burned building, but no bodies were dis
covered. The occupants of the burned
building lost everything, and only ont
was insured. Loss to building about $40,
600, and to occupants about $4,000.

BRITISH GRAIN TRADE.
A Review Daring the Past week-Efect
of the Rain.

vi the KAN.
LONDON, September 5.-The Mark Lane
Express in . review of the British grain
trade during the past week, says: Owing
to heavy rainfallS, snspending threshiDg,
the supplies OF native wheats have been
eurtailed, causing q firm feeling in the
markets. The sales of English wheat dur
ing the week were 50, 1913 quarters at 29s
I'D, against 29,S92 quarters at 33s Id
during the corresponding period last year.
Flour is steadier. Foreign wheat is rather
against buyers. A fractional advance is
quoted on American spring wheat in Liv-
erpool. Since the greater part of the wheat
by the Californian ring passed into the
hands of the ~legitimsts trade at 30s per 500
lbs, values have shown a slight improve
ment. Large shipments OF Russian and
American continue making the prospect
for a material rise doubtful. Seven car
goes of wheat sTrived, seven cargoes were
sold, ave were Withdrawn and two re-
NAMED. To-day the supplies were saariDgs
English wheat samples were in bad eondi-
ton: sound parcels maintained values. In
Eerior were Sd cheaper. Flour dull. Corn
was steady. Oats were q third dearer.
